Expert  1566   |  Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSEDSorry I've been missing for a while. Looking back a few pages it seems I missed some talk on engine vs. good bike, swim life vest, and some people being sick. Hopefully everyones training is going good. I had a really busy past few weeks and am starting to catch back up. I was able to get three days in a row this week. i decided to lay off the two a days until I get back in the swing of things. I had my huge show last weekend and it could not have gone better. We played a sold out Navy Pier Grand Ballroom (1500 people) for one of the largest charity events in Chicago. Total rock star show. I have been playing in bands for about 12 years and I have never gotten this much exposure. The phone is ringing off the hook -literally. In the past 3 days we have 4 wedding requests, Joes on Weed Street (the best venue for live music in Chicago) e-mailed me and wants to book a bunch of dates, we were contacted to play an event at the House of Blues and we booked an event at Illinois State University for a charity for St. Judes Hospital. It has just been unbelievable. Here is some video from the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WE8GTNGeB0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4_6rC7jJ4k&feature=related So anyways I am working hard to motivate my butt back to my regular level. I should have my bike put back together next week so I can start riding again. |

Master 1790 \Windsor, Ontario | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Hey Coach. Thanks. I did not do anything way strenuous. A few slow laps, some easy kicking, floating around, a few drills. Did not tax myself physically I just had to do something to feel like a normal human being for 30 minutes. It actually helped me clear my head but it sure got stuffed in a hurry when I went outside – brrrrrrrrrr it is cold. So just going to settle down in front of the fireplace take some more cold and flu drugs, sip on a nice hot tea and rest tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will feel like doing more. Court – thanks for the well wishes and let me know how you like the shoes - once I feel better I am going shoe shopping. FYI – I bought 2 wet suits at Christmas from Xtera – one sleeveless and one full suit – fitting chart worked great. I figured if I bought them it would make me learn how to swim I have almost all the gear now – except I am definitely going to get one of those swim safe devices because my sister lives on Lake Erie and if I go out to swim she will watch me but there is no way she is going to be able to save me – so that may be a great idea for this season. Have a great night everyone. (one day closer to normal again I hope) KC Edited by kcgolf 2011-02-10 5:39 PM |

Extreme Veteran 828 North Shore, MA. | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED It was on Universal Sports network. I think it was originally aired yesterday.(Verizon) They normally do replays, but they are often on at silly times so it's worth checking the upcoming schedules every now and then. They air all the IM's it just takes a while for them to get on the schedule it seems. |

Extreme Veteran 424 Lockport, IL | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Universal Sports Network - not sure I get it...We get Versus network...Gotta look. My fiance keeps on throwing down some strong numbers in spin class and like to run. I'm gonna get her into the pool and then a mini-sprint. She'll be hooked! Maybe this would give me that leverage I would need to drop $3K on a tri-bike. Muaaaaahahahahaha! |

I found this web suit for wet suits. They let you apply the cost of rental to buying the suit if you like it. http://www.wetsuitrental.com/ KC- Hope your feeling better!! Had my best swim workout today!! It's finally clicking! I don't feel like I'm going to drown! Can't wait to do it again tommorow!! Congrats on the swim breakthrough. I will let you know when I have mine, if ever and thanks for the well wishes. Got a question for you - how long have you been swimming? KC I hadn't really swam since I was probably a teenager. So over 20 years ago. I could swim, but I'd never had to really swim any type of distance. |

How long ago and are you swimming those distances in your log without breaks? KC I started in November. I still have to stop. I can't swim more than 100 yards without stopping for 10-20 seconds and catching my breath. All my distances done in my log are done with drills. My swim coach has a dry erase board that she leaves for her students so we can do it without her there, I just can't remember what they are when I get home to log them in. Todays swim wasn't as good as yesterdays. I'm a little soar though, so that's probably why. I'm not giving up! I was able to go four strokes before having to take a breath consistantly for the first time. So it's getting better. |

Master 1790 \Windsor, Ontario | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Hi Team. OK - not 100% but I am alive! ( a little weak, with some sinus nose stuffiness but on the mend) I have to say first - Thanks to all you Neti Pot users - I not sure what the deal is but I think it is helping me Managed a work out today - not the most powerful and motivational one but I did some stuff - which I guess is better than nothing. Swim - ok - not by best by a long shot but I managed 750 meters of assorted swimming and drilling. Bike - 30 minutes - not bad, broke a sweat. Stretch - felt great. Thanks for thinking about me everyone. I am not out of the woods yet but I can definitely tell I am on the mend. Have a great weekend everyone. KC PS - Coach - Have a great time while on vacation and don't catch anything. Just look out for that hangover virus - it is everywhere - but only lasts about half a day Edited by kcgolf 2011-02-11 6:00 PM |
